high school griping
-- Miss, Please come back to your assigned seat.
-- Why should I have to? Everybody else is our of their seat.
-- I'm working on that. Please come back so James can seat in *his* seat.
-- Why? Nobody else is.
-- Are you saying you refuse to sit in your seat?
-- Why should I have to?
{calls principal and writes referral)
Note surprised students. They seem a little thick. They think since they sat down after I picked up the phone they shouldn't get in trouble.
Just another confirmation that warnings are stupid discipline procedures. Why teach someone they can defy you *until* something or other. They know the rules, they break them, I remind them. That's it. After that, it's too late.
And what strange logic says that because someone else breaks a rule it's no longer a rule?
